Damaged Ships And Transwarp

posted on March 21st, 2004, 5:35 pm

first one, i dont like the animation of damaged ships. there are too many colours in the smoke, or how u would call it. like purple, black an green.
is that one animation or is it a combination of things? cause i saw that on a lost damaged ship.

i´m not sure, is it a bug or bugy animation, or a damaged installation of ma FO(?). when i activate the transwarpgate and let ships jump through, they´r missing for a few seconds, and then appear near the destination, but in a long range off the shot.

hope u can understand what i mean, made maself clear, cause i dont live in england or america or whatever.. so it´s not my favorite language

That "colored" smoke is irritating, right. Would be nice if it could be improved.

The strange behaviour of ships coming out or going into transwarpgates/wormholes is odd. I have the same problem, so I think it's a general bug. I don't know if it was that way in Armada II, but it would be nice if it could be fixed, too.

About English language... may I ask where you're from? And don't be shy because of your English, noone in the Fleetops Team is from UK or the USA, neither am I.

Meh, you made more sense than i usually do, and i AM from England

Yeah i agree, the smoke can be a bit annoying. Still a lot better than the stock A2 one.

I hadnt noticed anything with the Transwarp, but then again i dont play as Borg much. I'll have a scuttle around it, see what i can find out.

I think all the smoke textures are fine now, although they can be pretty colorful in a bad way.

[OFf-TOPIC: To "scuttle" is how, for example, a crab walks. I heard Dr Zoidberg (Futurama) say it "I've had enough of this game. I'm going for a scuttle".
Beware though, scuttle also means to plant a bomb on one of your allied ships, and to sink it. Eg: Like the French Secret Service did to that Greenpeace ship, Rainbow Warrior (before they got arrested by their own police force, hahaha]
That is all.

Irgendwie komisch, aber 3/4 der Leute hier im Forum sprechen deine Sprache,
inklusive dem ganzen FO Team.

Also wenn du mal nicht weiter weißt, nimm einfach deine Muttersprache,
irgendwer wird dich schon verstehen.


Translation:

Strange, but 3/4 of the people in this forum speak your language,
including the whole FO team.

So, when you're stuck, simply use your native language,
someone will certainly understand you.

Well if the smoke was black then it wouldn't be very visible againts the blackness of space now would it
